Former U.S. Rep. George Santos is set to be sentenced for federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft after pleading guilty. Santos, who misrepresented his life story and fraudulently secured donations, faces a potential seven-year prison term. While he claims to feel regret, prosecutors argue he shows no genuine remorse, even portraying himself as a victim online. Santos' lawyers are advocating for a shorter, two-year sentence, asserting its reasonableness compared to similar cases involving other political figures.
"I'm doing as well as any human being would be doing given the circumstances. I will be in court tomorrow, ready to face the music."
"Prosecutors argue that Santos remains unrepentant and has not shown genuine remorse, citing his recent social media comments portraying himself as a victim."
